Thanks for the feedback. The only trouble is that I'm running two parallel
instances of RT (and Apache), one for testing 3.4.2 and one production 3.2.3.
My concern is that the update scripts required to get the testing instance
running correctly might break the database which the production instance depends
upon.

The wiki touches on these issues, but doesn't address database upgrades and
their impact on concurrent testing/production installs of RT.
